Outer Banks Beach, Surf, & Fishing Report – 6.29.11 – Where did June go?!
Outer Banks - 6.29.11 - Pretty at Avalon Pier
Good morning . Here’s the Outer Banks Beach, Surf, & Fishing Report for Wednesday, June 29, 2011.
This video was shot at the Avalon Pier in Kill Devil Hills at 9:00 AM.
June 29?! Already? Where did June go. Summer is definitely here.
We have a grey start to the day with some overcast skies, but the sun is fighting its way through. It should end up being a mostly sunny day with some scattered thunder showers…and the plants could use it! Overall, it should be a nice beach day with temps in the 80′s and light offshore wind out of the west.
The offshore wind is cleaning up the surf, but there’s not much there to clean. Knee high waves are coming in this morning…maybe an occasional waist high set, and the small surf is very clean from the west wind. Definitely a fun longboard wave at the right spots.
OBX fishing is going great. Offshore is seeing dolphin, tuna, and a few bill fish mixed in. The piers, bridges, Sound, and surf are all very consistent with a wide variety of fish. It depends on the spot and the conditions for the day, but the fish range from blue fish, Spanish mackeral, flounder, to spot, speckled trout, cobia, croaker.
Hope to see you soon. Have fun!

Happy last week of June! Amazing. I can’t believe how fast time is rolling this year. Already half way through the year, and the 4th of July is next week. The OBX summer is officially in full swing.
Great weather ahead this week. 80 degree temps, bright sun, and a light offshore wind out of the southwest all week.
Unfortunately, not much surf to report this week, but the light offshore wind is cleaning up the little swell we have. The waves are only in the knee high range today, but if you can find the right spot, there is a very clean longboard wave coming through. It should be this way pretty much all week. The swell may jump to waist high for a short time on Wednesday. Should be a pretty clean wave in the longboard range all week.
OBX fishing is going full steam. Everything is active. Offshore is seeing dolphin, tuna, and a few bill fish mixed in. The piers, bridges, Sound, and surf are all very consistent with a wide variety of fish – blue fish, croaker, spot, speckled trout, flounder, Spanish mackerel, cobia.
Hope to see you soon. Have fun!
Outer Banks Beach, Surf, & Fishing Report – 6.24.11 – Great start to the weekend…
Outer Banks - 6.24.11 - Great Start to the Weekend at Avalon Pier
Good morning. Here’s the Outer Banks Beach, Surf, & Fishing Report for Friday, June 24, 2011.
This video was shot at the Avalon Pier in Kill Devil Hills at 9:00 AM.
Happy Friday! We’ve had great weather all week, and it will carry through the weekend. There was an amazing sunset last night after a much needed thunderstorm, so I’ll include a pic of that too.
A bit overcast this morning, but overall a great start to the weekend. We’ll have a mix of sun and clouds today, with temps in the upper 80′s, and light southwest wind. A very comfortable beach day…and weekend.
The southwest wind is cleaning the tiny wave we have coming through, so there is a clean longboard wave, but it’s only in the knee high range. This is the story for the weekend too. Knee high waves, offshore wind through Saturday, and on Sunday the wind switches to the east. Unfortunately, not too exciting for OBX surf, but we had some fun surf and warm water this week, so no complaints.
OBX fishing is hitting its stride. Offshore is seeing dolphin, tuna and some bill fish mixed in. Near shore, piers, bridges, Sound, and surf are all very active with a wide variety of fish – croaker, spot, speckled trout, sea mullet, Spanish mackerel, blue fish, Cobia. Great time to be fishing on the OBX…tight lines all around!
Hope to see you soon. Have fun!
Outer Banks Beach, Surf, & Fishing Report – 6.22.11 – Perfect Beach Day!
Outer Banks - 6.22.11 - Perfect day at Kitty Hawk Pier
Good morning. Here’s the Outer Banks Beach, Surf, & Fishing Report for Wednesday, June 22, 2011.
This video was shot at the Kitty Hawk Pier and a quick stop at the Lillian St. beach access at 9:00 AM.
Perfect beach day. Sun, 90 degree temps, 70 degree water temps, and a light offshore breeze out of the southwest cleaning up the surf.
Clean chest high surf coming in. The surf will die down today, but the wind is going to stay out of the southwest for the next few days, so there should be a clean longboard wave through the rest of the week.
Outer Banks fishing is going strong. Offshore is seeing dolphin, tuna, and some bill fish. The piers, bridges, Sound, and surf are all very consistent with a wide variety of fish – blue fish, spot speckled trout, croaker, flounder, sea mullet, cobia, etc.
Always a great time to be on the OBX…especially now!
Hope to see you soon. Have fun!

Good afternoon. Here’s the Outer Banks Beach, Surf, & Fishing Report for Monday, June 20, 2011.
This video was shot at the Wright Brothers Memorial and the Hayman St. beach access, both in Kill Devil Hills, at 9:00 AM.
Happy belated Father’s Day. Hope all of the Dad’s enjoyed their day. I was lucky enough to share Father’s Day with with my boy’s first birthday, so it was a great day. Happy birthday Finn!
It was a great day because of the weather too. The weekend was gorgeous with 80 degree temps, sun, and a light breeze, and the great weather is going to continue this week. The 10 day forecast is sun, 80′s, and a few isolated thunderstorms. The showers will not be widespread, and really the plants could use a drink.
Unfortunately, not much surf to report. A small bump out there today (happy International Surfing Day, by the way), but not much going on, and the wind isn’t going to cooperate to start the week. But the wind will switch offshore around Wednesday, and we could have some fun knee to waist longboard waves towards the end of the week. Coupled with the great weather, it should be fun to catch any surf rolling through.
Outer Banks fishing is going strong. Offshore is seeing dolphin, tuna, and a few bill fish mixed in. Cobia are hot near shore. The bridges, piers, and Sound are all active with a wide variety of fish – croaker, sea mullet, spot, speckled trout, blue fish, Spanish mackerel. And the great news is that surf fishing is getting more consistent as well. Great time to be fishing on the OBX!
Hope to see you soon. Have fun!
Outer Banks Beach, Surf, & Fishing Report – 6.17.11 – Let the beach weekend begin!
Outer Banks - 6.17.11 - Great Day at Avalon Pier
Good morning. Here’s the Outer Banks Beach, Surf, & Fishing Report for Friday, June 17, 2011.
This video was shot at the Avalon Pier in Kill Devil Hills at 9:00 AM…then a quick stop at the Lillian St. beach access.
Happy Friday! It’s been a mild week on the OBX with temps in the upper 70′s and lower 80′s all week, but just in time for the weekend, the temps are jumping into the 90′s! There’s a mix of sun and clouds this morning, with a few showers (the plants are loving it!), but the sun will be out this afternoon, and temps will climb to the 90′s. Sun and 90′s all weekend.
There is a nice offshore wind out of the southwest adding a cool breeze to the day. The offshore wind is perfect for cleaning up the little swell we have in the area. The swell is only in the knee to waist range, but it is very clean with the southwest wind. The water is warm, the air is hot, and the surf is clean, so even if it’s small, it’s a good day to be in the water. Definitely worth a longboard session.
Outer Banks fishing is getting better everyday. Offshore is seeing dolphin, big eye tuna and some bill fish mixed in. The piers, bridges, and Sound are very active with a wide variety of fish – blue fish, Spanish mackerel, flounder, spot, speckled trout, croaker – but the big catch of the day is cobia! Our friends over at Rock Solid Fishing (www.RockSolidFishing.com) gave us a great report from their near shore fishing trip yesterday, and they landed four big cobia, with the biggest topping out at almost 80 pounds!
Hope to see you soon. Have fun!

Outer Banks - 6.15.11 - Beautiful Day in Kitty Hawk
Good morning. Here’s the Outer Banks Beach, Surf, & Fishing Report for Wednesday, June 15, 2011.
This video was shot at the Lillian St. beach access in Kitty Hawk at 9:00 AM.
Perfect beach weather, sun, upper 70′s to lower 80′s with water temps in the 70′s! There is a cool north wind that is a bit stiff today, but that north wind is blowing in the warmer water temps, so no complaints. The water and the air will be pretty close today. Great day to enjoy some time in the water.
Unfortunately, no surf to report. There is a trace swell in the knee high range, but this north wind isn’t helping to clean it up. The wind will switch to the southwest over the next couple days, but the swell isn’t forecasted to increase much. It could build to the waist high range, and with an offshore wind and warm water, it could be a fun longboard wave over the next couple days. Worth keeping an eye on.
Outer Banks fishing is going strong. Offshore is reporting dolphin and big eye tuna with some bill fish mixed in. The piers, bridges, and Sound are very consistent with a wide variety of fish – sea mullet, flounder, spot, speckled trout, blue fish, Spanish mackerel, cobia. Our friends at Rock Solid Fishing (www.RockSolidFishing.com) reported some good cobia catches near shore yesterday. The reports out of the surf are starting to get more consistent as well.
Have fun!
